27 week Check-up
This morning was the dreaded glucose tolerance test, to see if i have developed gestational diabetes. I chugged a nasty orange drink (glucola) and then had my blood drawn an hour after to make sure my sugar is OK. This is a normal part of the checkup at this point. Baby boy M. decided he would do some backflips after he got exposed to the sugar rush, which made it more tolerable. It was hard to fight off the nasueous feeling after drinking that much sugar that quickly!
Heart rate of 148 bpm.
My uterus is measuring normal, 27 inches at 27 weeks.
Dr. Garcia said that the baby is in a transverse position (parallel to my hips, rather than head down) but at this point it was too early to be concerned because I won't deliver this soon.
I've been having MAJOR heartburn--I guess that means he'll be having a full head of hair!
Lately I've been feeling quite anxious, especially about delivery. It seems when you're pregnant everyone just HAS TO share their most horrifying birth experiences with you (as if you'll have one just like it, or you care).
Sigh.
Here are some pics from today. Getting quite the bump, if I do say so myself!
Oh and I've been craving CHERRY PIE!! mmm
